Damon's POV "It was Jasper all along." I stood on the balcony of my room to watch the sunset. That view is lovely every afternoon. I was thinking about Ady's plea and what I'd found out. Everything that happened flashed through my mind, and I remembered the boy who helped Ady get out of the water. They didn't tell me what happened or how Ady discovered that two people had helped her. And how could Jasper possibly be that man? Was it just a coincidence that they became friends after a year? Or did Jasper follow her as he did in the hospital before? "Damon!" I looked down and saw Ranzel waving from the gate. When I waved, he smiled and ran up to the balcony, waving for me to follow. A few seconds later, he was next to me. "It's kind of like the depth of your thoughts," he said. I turned toward him. "Well, I've been calling you for two minutes, but you're not listening." "Is it so?" I just said it, and I didn't apologize for what I did. "What are you doing here?" "I have some bad
Jasper's POV "Yes! Thank you, Pa. I thought you could handle me without a phone." I said with a smile as I opened my new phone box. I want to buy a new phone and would have taken Ady to the mall with me. But we heard someone knocking on the door. "I'll open the door, mama," I said, then quickly stood up and walked toward the main door. I wasn't expecting to see Grandma that morning. She will visit us later after she finishes her chores. "Granny..." I said. "Come in, please." "No, Jasper." granny refused. "Please tell Ady to go home, as our breakfast is getting cold." I frowned at what Granny said. "No, Ady is not here, grandma." "Huh?" "Granny, is anything wrong?" Mom asked who was behind me. "Nothing. I thought that Ady was here, so I came here." "Perhaps she's still in her room, or maybe in the bathroom taking a shower," I said as I noticed that Granny's reaction seemed different. "Nope, she's not in her room. She's not in the bathroom either, so I thought she must have
Ady's POV "What is that smell? It smells of blood!' As soon as I opened my eyes, I smelled that. It smells sweet, like honey and copper. It was so dark everywhere that I couldn't see anything. There were small gaps in the distance, but when I tried to stand up, I was surprised I couldn't. My wrists and feet hurt because of what I was doing. I was tied so tight that it shaved and hurt my skin. I suddenly remembered what had happened before I came to this place. Jasper sent me a text message, but I didn't see Jasper when I left the house. I do not know them. Then I realized that Jasper's phone was missing because I hadn't thought about it before I left the house. "You look like you're awake." My eyes widened, and my eyebrows furrowed in surprise at the voice. Since it was dark and I couldn't see, I didn't know who it was. I didn't even feel or hear his footsteps. Does that mean he's been here with me since earlier? "Who are you? What do you want from me?" "The truth is that I am n
Damon's POV "Why did you leave Iago's pack?" I turned to Jasper's father. I don't know him or his name, but he knows Mama. As he said, Mama's name was like he already knew her well. "He's hurting my mother," I said. "That jerk!" Jasper and I turned to look at his father. We did not expect him to say that. Jasper looked at me for a moment, then looked away. Jasper seemed as confused as I did. I turned around at the back of the car when I saw two other vehicles with people who looked like they were taking Jasper from the city. "Why would he hurt your mother? He cares for her." "I better not talk," I said. I don't know him, and we don't trust each other, so it's best to keep quiet. I frowned when I saw that we went straight instead of turning toward Santa Isabel. That way leads to the other town behind Santa Isabel. Although I was confused, I didn't ask any more questions. ---- Ady's POV I woke up feeling something cold on my face. I was surprised to see Zek sitting right in fr
Jasper's POV "Ady!" I was running fast as I chased after the car. I also keep calling Ady's name so he can hear me, but he doesn't seem to hear me. The vehicle stopped when we heard a loud howl in the distance. Even though I turned around but didn't stop, I could see Damon running as if he had just finished fighting. I took advantage of the car completely stopping. I quickly ran and jumped to get close to the vehicle. I immediately grabbed someone from the front when I fell on the car's roof. I pulled the driver to me and then helped him out. Even before it fell to the ground, it had already shifted. A huge orange or light-brown wolf fell onto the road. And its companion has also turned into a werewolf. These two wolves attacked me at the same time. But because my dad told me not to shift, I didn't. I know who I am, and I can't change it fast. I quickly got out of the car and pulled the door open. I was a little surprised to see Ady inside the vehicle. I turned around again to face
Jasper's POV Ady was taken care of immediately at the hospital, but we weren't allowed in the emergency room, so we just waited outside. While we waited, the other pack members were out and watching. We were all allowed to go inside, including Damon. Inside the hospital, Dad and Javier looked for Grandma, and Damon and I waited for news from the doctors checking on Ady. Ady was still unconscious when we took her to the hospital, so I haven't talked to her yet. I looked at Damon sitting there and busy on his phone. "Why?" I asked. Damon glanced at me. "I can't contact mom." "Really? You have been contacting her since we left the city. Maybe there's no signal in their area." "It's impossible because they're in the city because a famous university is there." "Contact her friends," I said. Damon thought for a moment, then dialed a number. When the doctor came out, I turned around and went right up to him. "Doc, how's my girlfriend?" I asked. "She is doing well. Her wounds have al
Damon's POV "What? Blood Moon Twins legend?" Jasper asked. "Well, that's a new one on me. I don't know anything about that story. So there is a legend, and only your mother knows?" I nodded. "It was just a story. I didn't believe it either at the time, but one of the descriptions in the story shows me that the myth is true. I was born a lycan, and it's possible that Jacob was one, too. Like in the story, we were born twins under the blood moon." "Perhaps it's just a coincidence," Jasper said. "Why did his father take Jacob? You said it had only been a few hours since you were born, so Jacob still needs your mother's milk. I'm just curious." "I also have no idea why he took Jacob or how he knew that Jacob was his son." "You mean your mom's ex could have taken the wrong baby? I mean, you're possibly his child and not Jacob's." I didn't speak. I've been thinking about that a lot. Mom said the DNA test showed that my father and I were different, but Armando took Jacob, and I have no
Damon's POV "What?" Jasper glanced at me, then at his mother, and then at me again. "I think they were using blackmail," Jasper said. "Yeah, Mama won't go with them because she'll die before that happens," I said. "I must go." "Where're you going?" Jasper's mom asked. "I'll find mom." "You're alone," it asked. "Wait until Aman comes to save your mother." I frowned when I heard Jasper's father's name for the first time. Aman? Is that his name? "There is no need. I'm not part of your pack; you don't have to help them." "But you helped Granny and Ady." Jasper's mom said. "Because they were the reason then, Mama. They were the reason Ady's parents died; they saved them. Now, Ady's grandmother, and she almost died because of them, and because he was a..." "Jasper, if they were the reason, Minerva didn't force them, I'm sure." Jasper's mom said. When she mentioned Mama, she seemed to know her too. "I need you to be considerate, Jasper. She needs help, and I'm sure that even if sh
Ady's POV I got a tight hug from my grandmother after I got my medal a cum laude and graduated from the architecture course. A lot happened, and everything was memorable. I thought I wouldn't be able to graduate yet, but here I am today, wearing a cap and gown. "Congratulations!" Damon gave me a hug when he saw me. He also wore his graduation gown and waved his diploma and medal at me. Both Ranzel and Zek came up to me. Ranzel hugged me while Zek gave me a flower. His father's old pack became part of Damon's pack. They all accept Damon as their leader. "My loves!" When he saw me, Jasper smiled widely. He brought me flowers and chocolates as a gift. He also gave me a big hug. Jasper's university graduation was last week, so he graduated before Damon, and I did. As soon as Jasper let go of me, Mama Minerva hugged me. I call her mom because that's what she wants me to do. Damon and Mama Minerva are still together, and Uncle Aman and Jasper are together. Jasper put his hand around my
Ady's POV My heart was pounding hard, and I was sure this wolf would find me no matter what I did to hide. It attacked several things in the house to catch me, but I was able to get away, so its growl got louder. I hid behind the ample cabinet and writhed in agony from a leg injury. I also saw the blood on the plant that Jasper put there. I put my hand over my mouth so I wouldn't scream or let out a weak moan that the wolf might hear. As the rustling got closer, it made me even more nervous. My tears kept coming out of fear, too. "Ahhh!" When I heard the voice, my eyes grew wide. I was afraid, but I looked in to see what was happening. "Ady, are you okay?" It was Damon's mother speaking. I saw her standing there with blood on her torn clothes and wounds on her forehead, thigh, and arm. "Y-yes," I said in response to his question. "Stay exactly where you are," Minerva said. Then it suddenly turned into a wolf. She has gray fur and is probably tiny compared to the rest of the pac
Ady's POV I woke up feeling like a thick blanket wrapped around me. That warm, hard stuff felt so good on the skin. Later, it started to move, so I opened my eyes. Even though my vision was blurry, I knew who the man was who hugged me. "J-jasper?" I said weakly. "My loves," Jasper said. His face, which had been blank, suddenly lit up, and he seemed to be thinking deeply. "How're you feeling?" I smiled. "I'm fine." Jasper turned his head away from me and sniffed. "I am sorry you got hurt. I didn't keep my promise to protect you." I lifted my hand and put it on his cheek. "That is not true." "What I'm stating is true because you wouldn't have done this if..." I didn't let Jasper finish his sentence. Instead, I grabbed his neck and pulled him closer to me until our lips touched. It was just a nibbling kiss, but for me, it said a million things that I wanted him to feel. "What's that for?" "For keeping me alive." I smiled at him, and he smiled back. "Jasper!" Jasper and I bot
Jasper's POV "W-what? We're not cousins; we're twins." The response surprised me. "Dad, you're just kidding, right?" Dad didn't say anything and just kept looking at me. I don't know what I will think or feel right now. I smirked. "This looks like something I've seen in a movie. Dad, if you're serious, tell me, son." "I am telling the truth. Jasper, this is not a movie," said dad. "My best friend is Soledad, and my girlfriend is Minerva. Even though we've been together long, she wasn't my imprint. Iago imprinted her. When she found out, she told me right away, and because it was fate, she said there was nothing we could do. I pursued her because she was planning to kill herself. She didn't like Iago, and there were only two ways to eliminate the imprint. Either one of them or both of them died. And to save her from such a sin, I went after her and did everything I could to get her to accept Iago, even though it hurt me a lot. Minerva agreed, but we had promised that we would be each
Ady's POV "D-damon?" When I saw Damon's condition, it made me cry. He's staring at me, but I can only hear grunts because he's a wolf. If Damon is the white wolf before me, Jasper is the white wolf who attacked the black wolf. I was seated next to Damon. "Ahhhh," I exclaimed, trying to sit up straight. I turned to Damon and smiled a little. "I'm not going to die. The wolf bit me and almost crushed my bones. I escaped the wolf's bane." My breathing got deeper. I grabbed just above my wound and bit my lip so hard that it almost bled because I bit down hard on it. It hurt like something was moving inside my wound, and I felt very hot inside, like I had a fever. Because of the latter's canine, I had to gasp to view my wound. Later, the white wolf moved closer to me. He got up weakly and came to me. It was staring at me, so I stroked its head. Its old wounds are healing, and it is a mystery to me. "Y-you're healing..." I whispered. I'm trying to change the way I talk so Damon doesn't
Damon's POV "Hello, son. You make it." I didn't think that my dad would be the first person I saw when I got to the top of the mountain. The air is cold, and fog covers the entire area. "D-dad." Dad chuckled. "Hmm, you don't seem happy. Long time no see." "As far as I can tell, you're not glad to see me. It would be pointless if I hugged you." Dad laughed. Because of wolfsbanes between us, he halted a few meters away. It was like a garden of wolfsbane plants. "How does it feel? Be a Lycan? To be the strongest of all?" he asked. "Did you feel the craving for blood and power?" "Why would you ask? Are you curious to know if we feel the same way?" "No. We'll never feel the same way again. You are different." "Yes, you are right; I am different. Both of us are different." I said. The wind started blowing again, and the smell of wolfsbane drifted through the air. I felt something strange inside my body. I can't explain why. But it's like hot water that starts to boil inside of me.
Jasper’s POV "Mom, do you know anything?" We were talking in the kitchen while Dad sent everyone out. Ady, Damon, my dad, and my mom stayed with me. Their expressions were serious, and I got the feeling that no one wanted to answer my questions. I could feel the tension in them, and it looked like Ady and I were the only ones who didn’t know what was happening. "Ady should not be here," Mom said. "Why? She’s my girlfriend, so she’s part of the family," I said. "She’s your imprint?" There was shock at Damon’s question. He glanced at Ady. "Yep, she is." Damon smiled. "I’m relieved." I scowled at what Damon said, but I didn’t pay attention. I looked at mom and dad as if they were talking to each other with their eyes. "You aren’t telling me something. Damon knows something that I don’t. Why are you doing those things? Are you also keeping secrets from me?" I asked. "What’re you talking about, Jasper?" dad asked. "You have no idea, dad?" Dad stared at Mom for a second before tu
Damon's POV "What?" Jasper glanced at me, then at his mother, and then at me again. "I think they were using blackmail," Jasper said.
